CBS is no stranger to adapting previous material for success, but TrueLies falls flat in carving out its own identity. Our review:
After almost 30 years, the Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jamie Lee Curtis blockbuster True Lies is finally getting the small-screen treatment on CBS, but with a much-needed update and twist since it actually didn’t age well. Inspired by the James Cameron action-comedy of the same name, the peak dad TV series follows suit from the original with suburban husband and wife duo, Harry and Helen Tasker — played by Steve Howey and Ginger Gonzaga, respectively — down and out in a relationship rut.
Meanwhile, his wife Helen is none the wiser. In the midst of her job as a language professor, juggling duties at home and tending to their two children, Dana and Jake , Helen is bored and unfilled with her routine and wants an adrenaline rush. But just how bored is she? Falling down the rabbit hole of motherhood tropes, Helen is the cliché minivan mom who drives 100 miles per hour in school zones and whispers the scandalous details to her best friend after yoga classes.
